  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • Example embodiments will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
  • FIGS. 1-5 are perspective views illustrating semiconductor packages according to example embodiments;
  • FIGS. 6-7 are cross-sectional views illustrating semiconductor packages according to example embodiments; and
  • FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating an electronic system according to example embodiments.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS
  • Hereinafter, the inventive concept will be described in detail by describing example embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the inventive concept is not limited by example embodiments to be disclosed below and may be implemented in various forms. Example embodiments are only provided to make the disclosure of the inventive concept complete and make those of ordinary skill in the art fully know the scope of the inventive concept. In the drawings, the sizes of elements may be exaggerated for convenience of illustration.
  • It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element from another. Thus, a first element discussed below could be termed a second element without departing from the teachings of example embodiments. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
  • It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being “connected” or “coupled” to another element, it can be directly connected or coupled to the other element or intervening elements may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to another element, there are no intervening elements present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.).
  • The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “comprises” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
  • Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which example embodiments belong. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
  • FIG. 1 is perspective view illustrating a semiconductor package according to example embodiments. Referring to FIG. 1, a substrate 110 may be provided. For example, the substrate 110 may include various types of substrates, e.g., a printed circuit board (PCB), a flexible substrate, and/or a tape substrate. The substrate 110 may include bonding fingers 104 on a top surface thereof. The bonding fingers 104 may be connected to a bottom surface of the substrate 110 through an internal circuit of the substrate 110. For example, the substrate 110 may further include bonding pads (102 of FIG. 6) and external terminals (115 of FIG. 6) on the bottom surface thereof. The external terminals (115 of FIG. 6) may be disposed on the bonding pads (102 of FIG. 6) and the bonding fingers 104 may be electrically connected to the bonding pads (102 of FIG. 6). The number and arrangement of the bonding fingers 104 are illustrated and may be properly selected according to the type and usage of the semiconductor package.
  • A first semiconductor chip 120 may be stacked on the substrate 110. For example, the first semiconductor chip 120 may be attached on the substrate 110 by using an adhesive member (not shown). The first semiconductor chip 120 may be a memory chip or a logic chip. The memory chip may include various types of memories, e.g., a dynamic random access memory (DRAM), a static random access memory (SRAM), a flash memory, a programmable random access memory (PRAM), a resistive random access memory (ReRAM), ferroelectric random access memory (FeRAM), or a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM).
  • The first semiconductor chip 120 may include first electrode pads 122 and first redistribution pads 124 on a top surface thereof. The first electrode pads 122 may be connected to the internal circuit of the first semiconductor chip 120. The first redistribution pads 124 may be connected with the first electrode pads 122 by using first redistribution lines 126 and may serve to move the positions of the first electrode pads 122. For example, the first electrode pads 122 and the first redistribution pads 124 may be disposed along different edges on the same surface of the first semiconductor chip 120. The number of first electrode pads 122 and the number of first redistribution pads 124 are illustrated and may be properly selected according to the type of the first semiconductor chip 120.
  • The first semiconductor chip 120 may be stacked in an offset direction from an edge of the substrate 110 such that the bonding fingers 104 are exposed. The first semiconductor chip 120 may be disposed on the substrate 110 such that the first redistribution pads 124 are disposed on the same surface as the bonding fingers 104. For example, the first redistribution pads 124 may be disposed adjacent to the bonding fingers 104. Thus, even when the bonding fingers 104 and the first electrode pads 122 are not adjacent to each other, the first redistribution pads 124 may be adjacent to and in the same direction as the bonding fingers 104 through the first redistribution lines 126 without a need to rotate the first semiconductor chip 120.
  • First bonding wires 210 may connect the bonding fingers 104 with the first redistribution pads 124, whereby the substrate 110 and the first semiconductor chip 120 may be electrically connected with each other. Because the bonding fingers 104 and the first redistribution pads 124 are offset adjacent to and in the same direction as each other, connections of the first bonding wires 210 may be simplified. Thus, the probability of a problem, e.g., loop failure or short-circuit of the first bonding wires 210, occurring may be lowered.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a semiconductor package according to example embodiments. The semiconductor package according to example embodiments illustrated in FIG. 2 uses the semiconductor package illustrated in FIG. 1, and thus a repetitive description thereof will be omitted.
  • Referring to FIG. 2, a second semiconductor chip 130 may be further stacked on the first semiconductor chip 120. The second semiconductor chip 130 may include second electrode pads 132 and second redistribution pads 134. The second electrode pads 132 may be connected to an internal circuit of the second semiconductor chip 130. The second redistribution pads 134 may be connected with the second electrode pads 132 by using second redistribution lines 136, and may serve to move the positions of the second electrode pads 132. For example, the second electrode pads 132 and the second redistribution pads 134 may be disposed along different edges on the same surface of the second semiconductor chip 130. The number of second electrode pads 132 and the number of second redistribution pads 134 are illustrated and may be properly selected according to the type of the second semiconductor chip 130.
  • The second redistribution pads 134 of the second semiconductor chip 130 may be disposed adjacent to the first electrode pads 122 of the first semiconductor chip 120. For example, the second redistribution pads 134 may be disposed in the same direction as the first electrode pads 122. The second bonding wires 220 may connect the second redistribution pads 134 with the first electrode pads 122, whereby the first and second semiconductor chips 120 and 130 may be electrically connected with each other. Because the first semiconductor chip 120 is electrically connected with the substrate 110, the first and second semiconductor chips 120 and 130 may be electrically connected with the substrate 110.
  • For connections of the first bonding wires 210, the first semiconductor chip 120 may be offset in a direction inward from an edge of the substrate 110 where the bonding fingers 104 are disposed such that the bonding fingers 104 of the substrate 110 are exposed, and the second semiconductor chip 130 may be offset in a direction inward from an edge of the first semiconductor chip 120 such that the first redistribution pads 124 of the first semiconductor chip 120 are exposed. For the connections of the first bonding wires 210, the second semiconductor chip 130 may be offset in a direction inward from the edge of the first semiconductor chip 120 where the first redistribution pads 124 are disposed, such that the first redistribution pads 124 of the first semiconductor chip 120 may be exposed. For example, the second semiconductor chip 130 may be offset in two orthogonal axial directions from the edges of the first semiconductor chip 120.
